Our Little Girl Is Growing up!

Miah is certainly growing up quickly. She's still our baby girl tho ;-)

She's such a joy to own and love. Each day we fall deeper and deeper in love with her.

I recently bought her a new collar for the next stage of her life. She still has to grow into it more, but that won't take long.

 Here is a couple of photos of her wearing it. Unfortunately she was being wriggly, and we weren't able to capture the detail in the collar, which has silver diamonte bones around it.It came with a matching leash.. You can view it here also. I think you can get this set with gold plated bones as well. Gold probably would have looked smart on Miah, but I personally prefer silver.

Collar and leash set by SummersBling. We were lucky to have been kindly sent a cute love heart collar charm to go with the collar . Thank you Michelle :)

I also recently bought a gorgeous purple doggy poo handbag holder that attaches through the leash handle.  There's a opening at the bottom of it that you can pull the bags from.  After all every girl dog has to have her fav handbag when she goes out to special places. Bought from Kim of  'In Your Footsteps' here in Goolwa SA.

Miah's Day Out At The Cavaliers Capers Fun Day 14.4.2013

We are members of the Cavalier Club of SA.Yesterday they had one of their fun day for the  us pet owners to get together and mingle with other Cavalier owners (and Cavaliers of course!) and Breeders associated with the club. Its always a great day held twice a year at a  fantastic venue - Beefacres Reserve Windsor Gardens.

We took all 3 of our Cavs, all traveled very well in the car going to it (its a bit of a distance for us, but worth it!)

It was Miah's first time there, and altho she was highly excitable as puppies are, she loved every min of it. Was very well behaved and friendly to everyone who came to say hello to her. I think she thoroughly enjoyed it. She also got to see one of her litter mates Hadley and her Breeder Jenny Brice again :)

They put on a  mini show with a proper judge for us pet owners to have fun in as if it was a real show. We entered The Best Puppy in Show event with some other cute Cavalier puppies under 12 months and to my surprise we came second ! I was so chuffed that we got a red ribbon and a bag of goodies. She did very well for her first fun day!

Its great seeing so many Cavaliers having a great time, you just have to look at all the wagging tails everywhere to see they are ! :) Its also a wonderful opportunity to catch up with both breeders of our Cavs.

Anyway we took some video footage of the day and some photos, but I will just put up one of Miah and I for now, and a couple of Miah and Her Mummy 'Mindy' on the day. Michael my husband took the photos. If interested please check back later to see if I have added any more photos to this post.

Miah's First Easter

We bought an Easter Hamper from Kaya's Mission for the Cavs, which included 3 beautiful Easter themed Bandanas (and an Easter hamper bag) made by Erica Davison of Haughty McNaughty, Easter treats from Pawsome and Waggy Dog Bakehouse, toys 
and a cute handmade Easter bunny soft toy. 
Happy Easter from all of us at The Love Shack, Goolwa SA. 
*It wasn't easy trying to take pics of them all with treats around lol They all had their bandannas on, its just that they aren't showing up clearly in some of the pics.

In top pic is Renae, Miah in the middle with Joey on the right hand side of her.  Bottom left is Renae and Miah.  Next to  it is Joey on his own. 

Miah's Loveheart Marking

Its another sign she was the One! (we did have to squish her marking to make it look more like a love heart)  ;-)

Of course Joey and Renae are also the love of our lives :)

We are not sure what will happen to that patch of hair as she gets bigger. But for now It's very cute!
